Question : Tomcat Moving Application to another Server

I've got a tomcat application that runs on Windows 2003.  It runs fine on my live server.  We are migrating servers and I can't seem to get this same application to run on the new server.  It must be some configuration settings but I'm not a java guy so it is tough to figure out.  I installed the Tomcat HelloWorld examples and that works fine.  Like this:
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/servlet/HelloWorldExample
(I'm just trying straight through Tomcat - not IIS)
So my application url is like this:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/view.html?id=1234
That works on the old server.  But on the new server I get a 404 not found error.
So I tried to do the most simple operation I could think of.  Just pull up a JPG.
This url works on the old server:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/images/arrow.jpg
On the new server I still get a 404 error.
The directory structure is like this:
C:\Tomcat\webapps\myapp
Now I can get the JPG to appear if I blow away this file:
C:\Tomcat\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\web.xml
But that web.xml file is exactly the same on both server.  And if I delete that file it still doesn't get the real pages in the application to work like view.html, etc.  I get 404 error on those.  
web.xml (as well as every other file in C:\Tomcat\webapps\myapp\) is exactly the same on both machines so my problem is probably somewhere else.  But not sure where.

Answer : Tomcat Moving Application to another Server

go thru this link, to verify your deployment procedure.

Also verify the port number, server.xml and web.xml file.
